Actually, I choose '\L{' and '}' as escaping string for no good reason, 
and I didn't investigate into gnumeirc deeply, so I don't know which 
tags should be more elegant for instructions processing for gnumeric. 
you pointed out that <? and ?> are processing instructions, but whose 
instructions? XML's or gnumeric? I don't know XML well either.

Actually, the patch is so simple that you can modify it to change the 
escaping string very easily
